I noticed the other day how the freeways out here are lined with wild flowers in bloom. A consequence of a very wet winter.; 5/3/11, 3:49 PM

edutcher said...: Can't see Ann as Norma Desmond.

Maybe Meade's doing a little Splendor in the Grass.

Given the time of year, however, I can't imagine Ann wants to display all that much of her splendor.

At least outside.; 5/3/11, 3:50 PM

MamaM said...: The picture of the little blue "egg" in the form of a grape hyacinth bud posted here on Easter captured my attention and my imagination. It connected me to the joy I felt as a child on eggs hunts. I saw it as a symbol of spring, Easter, hope, and "things are not as they seem".

It wasn't until I was out walking in our yard today, looking at size of the grape hyacinths in the grass that I realized the eyes and distance needed to find and photograph such a small bud.; 5/3/11, 4:45 PM
